Your favourite fare: Rustic Cafe & Tapas Bar Hanmer Springs
Well-known for its variety, Hanmer Springs attracts both thrill seekers and active relaxers. One Spanish-style tapas bar caters to the energy of every visitor.
Under the new ownership of Ravi Sharma and Raj Singh, both highly experienced in hospitality, this Hanmer Springs destination on Conical Hill Rd is set to expand on its breakfast, brunch and lunch fare.
Fully-licensed, the menu will offer a range of cocktails, wine and beer. “Raj and I had been looking to have our own place for some time after working for years down south for other organisations,” says Ravi. “Rustic Cafe has a great location very close to the hot pools, right in the heart of the village, so we knew straight away it was perfect for us.”
Ravi adds that Rustic Cafe is the only place in Hanmer Springs to offer tapas, which are deliciously tempting. Enjoy sardines on toast, satay chicken, button mushrooms, mussels and calamari, plus an irresistible combination of curry bratwurst with aioli.
Real Kiwi fare is served daily through a hearty breakfast offering. Choices range from pancakes and waffles to eggs Benedict or royale, to a breakfast platter loaded with a selection that’s bound to satisfy even the most famished.
Rustic Cafe is open seven days with great customer service and superb food. Email rusticcafehanmer@gmail.com or call 03 315 7274 for more information.
